The Green Sea of the Amazon (Part Two of Two: Afterward: Enthrallment of the Amazon#8)

So yes, the Amazon was oblivious to my being charmed by it, as perhaps I was living in those passing moments, and didn’t know it myself, but it was fabulous. But fabulous is of course just a word, it does not describe its meaning. When we had first went down the Amazon, we stopped at what I’d call a luxury lodge, with TV and all the amenities one may wish to have in the Amazon. We simply used the facilities for prepping for our adventure into the thicker part of the Amazon, perhaps we stayed three hours. The we came to our lodge, which had none of the refinements the previous one had. And had we gone to the third one, which was deeper into the Amazon, we’d have been sleeping on a dirt floor, and ours might have looked like the Hilton, in comparison.

There were familiar flashes of darkness while going down the Amazon, which were simply shifts in the weather, from sunny, to sunny-pale with rain. I tried to enjoy the moment, grab the sky, and I suppose impolite a times in doing so, but I was busy writing down thoughts also. That is perhaps why it took five years to write a simple story as this one. The subconscious has its own knee-deep pitch-black waters, where it hides its treasures until its time to pull them up, and write them out.
The good thing I’m trying to say here, is the Amazon is made for everybody to visit, and has degrees one can subject themselves to. As I previous mentioned, for those wanting to visit, and not rough it at all you got the first lodge, just got to endure the boat ride. And the third one is for those madmen who what to live like apes, you can go to that hole in the ground and live; for myself, I prefer the in-between, and got it.
It is so true; you get what you pay for.

The overall feeling was mythological; the Amazon gives you no time to think of anything else, besides God and her. The passengers around me, on my way down the Amazon to the lodges were immobile, subdued by her.

Fastidiousness, is not necessary a quality in the Amazon, and if you’ve read about my yellow-bird in one of the previous chapters he was the point of fact to this, but it fit well in creating this story, and even he had a charm that belonged to the Amazon, I hold him no grudges, he was as he was: he wanted attention, like my wife, like our God wants, and like I like. So it is all in the gamut of things, is it not?

How to Create a Successful Business Card Design

What does your business card design say about your business? After meeting with a potential customer or a business associate, your card is many times all that is left to represent your business or product. This is why it is important to seek an image that best represents you and your company.

Of course, during these economic times, many businesses just don't have the resources to hire a graphic designer. Business owners faced with this task should keep some important rules in mind. For starters, there are internet sites where you can build your cards and design from the beginning to the finished product.

What is it that sets you apart from your competitors? Your aim should be to make a business card design that stands out and grabs the attention of your customer or client. Design your cards in a way that will make your services unique and will captivate and be impressive to the market you are trying to reach.

Your new business card design should not only include who you are, what you do and how you can be contacted, but it is a chance to include more than just your basic contact details. Grab your customer's attention with a catch phrase, and sell your product with your words. What can you do for your customer?

This seems like a no brainer but many people miss putting important contact information on their business cards. Don't forget to include an email address, a phone number, an 800 number, a cell phone number, a FAX number, and your address. Also remember to include your website address; this is a great way for people to find out more about your business.

Use a font that is easy to read, and 2-3 colors (plus black and white). The color red doesn't work with all designs, but really stands out. Try highlighting part of the text to make the words jump out at your prospective buyer. Find an image or a clip art that is related to the business or theme. Your business card design should be neat, and convey an image of trust.

Your theme (or logo) is the cement between you and your company. Your logo should reflect the professionalism your business is known for. Whatever you decide to use should be a clear symbol of high quality to enhance the image of your company. This symbol will become an important element in building brand recognition.

Keep in mind; you could be using both sides of the card. Improve your image by adding a checklist, a quote, or a testimonial to the back of the business card design. The cost to use both sides in not that much more, and sets your card apart from most business cards.

Don't bore your customers or clients by telling them how great you are. People don't care about that. They want to know what it is you have to offer. Give people a reason to contact you by knowing what it is that makes them buy. Develop an image of quality and professionalism with a great business card design.
